What The Heck Is That???? UPDATE!!

I have tried to find info on breast blisters. The bedding is deep, dry and clean.
Is there anything I can do for it? I am afraid that if something happens to her in that area her guts will spill out. That is how thin the skin is. Like a the smallest thing would make it rip.

That just looks awful!
I have a baby chick going through something similiar, but his is mass is actually on his chest. I hope your bird gets better soon.

Having processed birds, I can tell you that there is no place on a chicken where their skin can break that would make their guts fall out. In fact, it is quite a chore to get to their guts. Even if she no muscle on her, her guts would still not fall out. You're probably seeing veins.

I too have processed chickens. That is why I said you can see her intestines. It is quite the amazing protrusion. Paper thin. You can literally see her insides. The folds in the bowel and everything.

I am starting to think it is a birth defect of some kind. It doesn't seem to bother her at all. It is just not normal, yet totally amazing at the same time.

I finally got a "good" pic. I hope it shows what I am trying to convey.

See what I mean by seeing the intestines.

There seems to be air in this bubble thing to.

Calling all chicken mavins.....

I know, I'm stubborn. I just don't think it is a blister.

If that is truly the intestines, I'd cull that chicken. Otherwise, if you're ok with it, and it is NOT a hen, then let it live it's life. I don't think it's something you can treat, and most likely a birth defect. As stated, the intestines should NOT be near the surface at all. If that is a hen, and it tries to lay, I have a feeling it will die.

I'm sorry.
